Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Just got my phone last night after lenghty talk with my local ups customer serv. They screwed up big time. They lied about the delivery attemp. Was home all day waiting for the phone. Never will i use ups again!

Anyway the phone came unbranded thank god. Its from singapore based from the version number. Updated to pr 1.1 no problem.

One thing though the led light on the phone is not working when its plugged in while charging. No red light i mean. Is this normal? Have not tested the call quality since my carrier is sending me a new sim. Using wifi as i type this msg.

Just ordered my 16GB black N9 from Newegg with the coupon deal they had on. I'll have to let you all know how the process goes. I ended up going this route not only for the cheapest cost outright ($599), but also because Newegg offered a 1 year warranty for ~$50, which is worth it to me considering there may be a need to ask for a new phone due to user prefs in the quality of the pentile AMOLED screens. Here's to hoping everything goes smoothly, and no games need to be played...I'm excited to dive into the community further once I have my phone!

If there is community plan purchase Nokia N950...

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Please post where it was made when it comes in !? Thanks...

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Will do! I'm hoping Finland for piece of mind, but I've heard it doesn't really make a difference...I just have my fingers crossed that the AMOLED display has as little mura as possible.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Signed up right now to let you guys know Negri's offering the 16gb for $570, 64gb for $680.

Been researching several sites, some of them post the N9 is quadband and 3G won't work in North America. Contacted those sites to find out why and no one ever emailed me back.

Anyway, checked out Negri today, saw the good price, verified it was pentaband and ordered. I found a coupon for $35 off on retailmenot, so I ended up paying $534 for the phone + $43 shipping and whatever Canada customs decides to charge me.

Called and spoke to David who was really great, made sure it was an unbranded version. He said I should get it by early next week.

Cheapest I found online and with the coupon, even better. So excited! :D

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

nice price, do come back and let us know how much tax from canada custom, enjoy! I'm looking for 64gb and our tax is high

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Just received my N9 today...Newegg was exceptionally quick, and had the phone to me in just one shipment day (I'm in Maryland, and the phone was shipped from New Jersey). It's beautiful! The phone they sent me is the Colombian market version (based on the included Colombian guidebooks in addition to English), and is Made In China. I see no reason to suspect that the Finnish version of the phone would be better built, as this is very solid...however, I can now see what everyone is saying about the USB compartment lid...it's very thin, so to those buying one, treat it delicately!

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Ahhhhh!

I placed my order at 6pm EST on Weds and got my phone 12:30pm EST.

Negri undervalued it enough that I only had to pay HST (13% tax), so I was charged an extra $37. I had spoken to them about that, as I got dinged before with another phone from somewhere else. Had to pay an extra $130 on top of what I paid for that phone.

Anyway, total love at first sight. Going to go play with it now. :D:D:D

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I honestly thought the same about my E71's usb lid. VERY thin & flimsy. But 3 years later, it's still on there....

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

My first Maemo device is on the way ! Just pulled the trigger at negrielectronics. $534.50 w/ $35 off.

Why the N9?

Link is busted.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Great video! TOTALLY shows why the N9! Absolutely. ;)

Fixed his link.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I don't see any Newegg coupon codes anywhere. I guess the promotion is over. Serves me right for not paying attention! I guess the Negri deal is my best bet at this point.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Anybody else see the irony of starting this video off with an Android app advertisement? :p It doesn't help that I didn't notice a whole lot of enthusiasm from the crowd--felt like I was watching a eulogy instead of a demonstration.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

LOL. The pessimism is well and alive

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

So you noticed the quiet crowd too. :)

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I don't care what anyone says, I am loving this phone!

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

So my 16GB baby blue N9 is on its way to my US shipping address, for only $544. My parents will pick it up for me and pay the taxes at the border.

Not bad! Thanks all!

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

That is amazing qole I'm thinking of getting a cyan one to replace my current black one especially for that price (btw where did you get it from). My impulsiveness made me jump the gun and paid almost $900 after taxes and express shipping. I don't regret it though its been 3 weeks and i'm still in love, only getting better everyday :D

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I bought it at Negri with the retailmenot.com discount. Free shipping within the US.

EDIT: I realized that the price is getting dangerously low. When the price of a Nokia phone drops that much, it usually means that the phone will disappear from stores entirely in very short order.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I've been quiet for a while - basically exhausted all of my connections. But what's odd, nobody has a lot of stock they're really willing to get rid of.

I've been running around, trying to get more, but I'm running into the same brick walls as before, despite being somewhat successful in the past.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

This SHOULD have been the sweet spot for the HEIGHT of the N9's availability, by now. This is shameful. The whole PAST YEAR has been an avalanche of profound shame in a series of increasingly shame-filled years for Nokia. Between their world-class customer UNCARE, their bottom-of-the-barrel mentality regarding warranties (they try to get away with the bare-minimum, worst warranties they can legally get away with in whatever part of the world you live in), back-stabbing their partners (i.e. Intel), developers and customers, and the incredible decision to go with the worst, least-wanted operating system in the industry... which has thusly led to the recent lackluster reception to the latest Nokia devices. It's just amazing that Nokia hasn't ALREADY disappeared off the face of the Earth. It'll happen sooner than later, still, but the fact that the N9 COULD have been the identity for Nokia's handset phones brand was pissed away and the unavailability at this point in time during the holidays speaks volumes about their priorities and intelligence.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

For contrast, my brother and I went into the local Verizon resaler and bought the last two Galaxy Nexus phones they had.. and they had a box sitting there that JUST arrived from the post delivery before we walked in with ANOTHER bunch of them to sell. Now THAT'S availability. What the hell is wrong with Nokia??

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I still can't find the white N9 outside of Finland. :-( Is it basically impossible to get? If so I'll get the black one... I just want to know either way....

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I saw white N9s on sale in the Nokia store in ZhongGuanCun in Beijing. They seemed to be the only 64GB ones, the other colours (magenta/cyan) there were only 16GB.
